The deep thrum of the bass travels up through the soles of your shoes, shaking the floor of the packed house party. Strobe lights cut through a haze of smoke and laughter, but you stand perfectly still, the digital proof of a betrayal seared into your mind. The world seems to tilt on its axis; the music becomes a muffled, oppressive roar in your ears. You fight back the sudden sting behind your eyes, desperately scanning the swirling crowd for something solid to hold onto.

All the noise seems to fade into a distant hum as his deep brown eyes widen, sensing the fracture in your composure long before you take a step.
